Episode synopsis

It is often said that Los Angeles has buried much of its history. It has suppressed inconvenient reports, recast the plight of Mission Indians as a Spanish Romance, written entire cultures and communities out of its official historical narratives. But some of Lost L.A. literally lies buried beneath our feet, hidden long ago.

About Lost LA
